CIGAR-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,453,dated March 29,1881. Application filed October 29, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES CORR,'of Jamaica, in the county of Queens andState of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inCigar-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to furnish a cigar-holder constructed toinclose the cigar entirely while'it is being smoked, thus avoidingdanger of fire and'preventing the ashes from being an annoyance.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of theholder as open for receiving a cigar. Fig. 2 is a top view of the samewith the tip portion opened. Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the tipportion, and

Fig. 4 represents a modification in the construction.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The holder is to be made of any suitable material, such as is generallyused for pipes and cigar'holdersmnd of about the same shape as and thepiece 0, that forms the other half of the mouth-piece, and is fitted forbeing openedto permitremoval of the cigar-remnant after smoking. Theportionsab'are recessed to form areceptacle, which will preferably belargerthan I the cigar, and the mouth-pieceis apertured from the outerend to the receptacle. The lower portion, a, may be larger than theupper, and

have its recess larger, if desired. The outer ends of the portions a bare formed or fitted with perforated end pieces, d, so that such piecesclose the end of the recess and prevent escape of fire and ashes, whileadmitting air. The top a is attached by hinges e, which are secured inany suitable manner by screws or by embedding in the material, and acatch, f, is provided for retaining the holder closed. The upper half,c,'of the mouth-piece is also attached by a hinge, g, as shown in Fig.4, or it may be attached by tongues and grooves, as y shown in Figs. 2and 3, so that it may be moved endwise.

With this holder the cigar. can be inclosed and smoked while in theholder conveniently, and without danger from the fire, either whilesmoking or when the holder is laid down. The holder also retains theashes, so that they are prevented from falling out, which is anadvantage, especially when the smoker is sitting or reclinin g.

Having thus fully described my invention,1 claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. A cigar-holder provided with a perforatedend and ahinged cover extendingfrom said end to the mouth-piece, asshown and described.

2. The cigar-holder consisting of recessed portions a b, hinged togetherat e, having closed outer ends, and provided with catch f, and themovable portion 0 of the mouth-piece connected to portion a, allsubstantially as shown and described.

JAMES CORR.
